Are you safe?

Feeling  little shakey, a little nervous about life?  Wondering why you are going through a storm in life?  Thinking about turning back to the way you were before you encountered God and a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ?


I read this chapter this morning as I had "coffee with God" and found it very encouraging to me. 

Hope you do as well.


Psalm 16

1 Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge. 2 I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." 3 As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight. 4 The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips. 5 Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. 6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. 7 I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.

8 I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, 10 because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. 11 You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.


Is your "heart glad" today?  Do you know real security?

Put your faith, your trust, in Jesus as your Savior, the one who died for your sins and you will know the peace described in the above verses.

I'm ashamed to say I don't think I've ever read Psalm 16. I really enjoyed that. It's definitely encouraging. :)

Have a fabulous day!
